There are relatively few I really dislike, but the ones I'd not worry about ever seeing again:

Love Me TenderHarum ScarumDouble Trouble

Might be worth re-posting this in the main section - will get more views over there!

Girl Happy? Is he kidding?Apart from personal taste, the best movies are pretty self efident:King CreoleJailhouse RockFlaming StarFollow That DreamKid GalahadLoving YouChange of HabitWild in the CountryG.I. BluesRoustaboutViva Las Vegas (even though I think it is orverrated). I would insert Live A Little, Love a Little here.

There was something about Tickle Me that held my interest, though [maybe the songs were better than usual].

And Stay Away, Joe was something a tad different..................

Come on Colin, Double Trouble is not THAT bad!

Harum Scarum - no redeeming features.As stated, some movies are a matter of personal taste, I actually enjoy Charro even though it could have been much,much better. Having said that, it is still not a great movie if you compare it to other movies from '69 (True Grit, Midnight Cowboy, etc.) I can see how someone would enjoy Double Trouble from a fans perspective, but Scarum, Easy Come, and Kissin Cousins are the absolut bottom of the barrel. Show Yoga Is, Yoga Does to a teenager and gauge the reaction.

I like some of the scenes in Double Trouble and some of the songs. I love only one girl and Old McDonald are not among them.

Typical that the best song in the movie "Long-Legged Girl" is shown in the fog, but Old McDonald get up front prominence. Must of been monkeys running the store. I have not seen DT in at least 10 years, so I am fuzzy on the secens, but I do remember the Karate fight was bad. Couldn't they find somebody who actually new martial arts to make it look somewaht realistic. EP wasn't very good either, I can't believe he didn't throw some ideas around to the director!

I grew up with Elvis films on German television in the '80s... Like Europeans know they were synchronized... Elvis speaking German... I hear you thinking: must be a terrible youth!Anyway, the majority 31 of Elvis movies are not really highlights in the history of cinema to put it mildly. Viva Las vegas is mentoined quite regularly as a good film, but overrated and terribly put together. They tall low-voice singer of The Climb can (for example) be seen with and without glasses... Nice work from the director! I prefer TTWII and Elvis on Tour, with the last one being an absolutely underrated highlight as a rock 'n roll documentary! Okay, Jailhouse Rock and King Creole are nice milestones too, but that's about it.
